It was a hell drive on very little sleep, pulling the 42 down and the 50 back, 2100 miles in 55 hours but I got it done. That was with a big drunk night out in Fort Myers and a sea trial thrown in.

I can't think of a better guy to deal with than Terry Sobo"Salesmanship" he caught a problem on the new trailer and had it taken care of before I was in any shape to tow it, put me and my bud up in a nice hotel, told me where the strip joints were. The only thing he wouldn't let me do is drive the Lambo, but if it was his I might of had a chance to drive it:D I'm glad I put the deal together with him I have been talking boats with him for 3 years we were just never on the same page at the same time but I feel I have a good toy for the next 3-5 years, Terry kept saying see you next year for the new one, but I don't know about that.:D

Its a 50 Nortech, the house is 5200sq.ft. but it looks small in the picture.

Waterfoul 05-10-2004 09:15 PM

Hot Duck 05-10-2004 09:25 PM

Man, that boat is HUGE. What in the world does it weigh? What do you tow it with? What power is in the boat? C'mon. Fill us in and post more pics when you get a chance! :D I am dying to see more of that beast! Oh yea, congratulations!

Shah Mat 05-10-2004 09:37 PM

Can't wait to see it on the Potomac. Is there a ramp close to you that will launch that much boat?

Sydwayz 05-10-2004 11:41 PM

50 Nortech, triple 850s, and no, it is not bigger than the house, (ya need to see the whole thing :D; they have a huge pad ). I am pretty sure he pulled with his PSD Dually; and there is a ramp in his neighborhood, albeit, about as steep as the slope on a garage floor. :D

Greg and Donna, congrats! I will see you out there soon.

Wasabe 05-10-2004 11:51 PM

Nice. When are you going to give us better pics?

There are a lot of pictures on my last thread, "The Deal is Done" I will get some better ones soon. I pulled it with my F350 psd dually crew cab, the truck is chipped and has an air aid air box. It pulled it fine @ 75mph the whole way, it was balanced better than my Sonic, I wouldn't say it stopped on a dime but it did OK. I can't wait to get it out and rip it up this weekend.

Sydwayz 05-11-2004 09:37 AM

Dude, how did you get it through those wing-gates at the end of the driveway??? :D Did you ever pick up the airport Tug you were talking about?

WARPARTY36 05-11-2004 09:45 AM

That is sweet! One of these days I will bring myself to part with the Apache and those 50's are awesome! I take it you didn't stop at weigh stations:D :D

BobbyB 05-11-2004 10:31 AM

Congrats!! I cant wait too see that baby out on the water.

Reed Jensen 05-11-2004 11:02 AM

I put a hitch on the front of my truck, I could get a 60 footer in that way.

wannabe 05-11-2004 12:26 PM

LOR
 
WOW,,

Serious machinery.

If you trailer alot you will need to upgrade the brakes on the PSD or really go to a F450/550.

GM's new medium duty'y are nice. They are just out.

Enjoy the boat.
